I've brought Oils/Injectables back into the States before. I'm leaving Thailand in a Month to come back home. I'll have an extra bottle of orals or two. I was considering putting them in different containers, but I don't want it to look like I'm hiding anything if I am search. I've never been search at customs btw. I have read on a few sites that if caught with AAS at customs, they may just have you throw them out. I'd be ok with that, but I don't want to risk getting arrested. If anyone knows any similiar looking pills I could buy here in thailand to switch containers... they are the 10 mg, blue, stanztab by Unigen. Has anyone had any experience just throwing out your gear at customs and not getting in trouble? Thanks

Edit out lab name. That's against the rules

Its basically thai pharm grade

OP off top of my head I cant think of anything that looks similar, nothing legal anyways but check this site you might find something, enter in the details and see if you can find something similar

Although I cant imagine being charged for a couple tabs of winny, seems like far too much hassle for them to go through just to get you a fine

I just did the same thing with 100 stantabs from Thai to Canada. I just took them out of the box, threw them into some of those weekly pill orginisers. Between 2 different plastic pill orginisers that had 7 compartments each I only had 7 tablets per compartment. Threw in some fish oil and etc. No one would have ever questioned the unmarked tiny blue stantabs.

Give it a try.....

I would just put them in your checked baggage is you want to take them home, will your flight from BKK be direct to the US or will you have to change planes in Korea or Japan, Hawaii etc?

Unigen Unigen Unigen, my man edit your post so it reflects something else and I recommend you do some research on GMP Certified/Approved Pharma companies so next time you know what you are talking about.

Yeah, but let's leave labs out if at all possible...As for your question, flacco, no big deal. My suggestion would be to put them in a multi vitamin container or vit c container and be done w/it. Just make sure all the pills in your desired container are the same. Have a safe flight...

I haven't booked the ticket yet, but I think Korean air is the cheapest. Probably transfer in seoul.

[Flacco]

Thanks everybody

I would just put whatever you have in your checked baggage, US Customs & the USDA agents are only looking for Narcotics and banned food items. Dogs cant detect aas as they arent trained to do so.

You will be fine, Just try to forget about it when you arrive back in the US. Nervousness is an automatic indicator to US Customs, and if they suspect anything from you, they will search your bags.

[Flacco]

Yeah I didn't think most K9's are trained to Sniff for AAS. Do you think I should divide what I have up in a weekly pill container with a bunch of others supplements ie fish oil, milk thistle ect? Or just put the entire bottle in my checked baggage label and all?... so if they do find it, I can at least say I wasn't trying to hide anything.

I was at LAX a few weeks ago with a 5lb tube of Chocolate protein powder. They pulled me aside, swabbed the powder, tested it in a machine and also with liquids to see if the powder was anything illegal. The entire ordeal took an additional 30 minutes including a detailed frisk. If they find any illegal contraband, they won't just make you dispose of it, but it'll buy you a one way ticket into custody. No need to risk a charge over something so small and avoidable brother. That's just my personal opinion. I have family that work in for AA and he tells me of several stories of individuals who try to be clever and beat the system. Usually never works, play it safe man. Good luck.

Yeah you're right. I'm playing it safe. To big a risk for something so small and cheap. I just feel bad throwing away pharma grade gear. Thanks guys.

[HawaiianPride.]

If this were a domestic ordeal and U.S. customs weren't in the picture, I'd condone just mailing your product. But mailing from international allows them to actually open the mail and possibly end up being a seizure and sending you a seizure letter. Hate those damn things.

5lbs of protein is a little different than a few vials in a major way. %lbs of anything of a mass like that will automatically set off alarms. But your few tablets will be fine. Just go get some vitamin bottles and empty them so you can store your tabs in those bottles. you will have no problems

[Flacco]

Yeah, I doubt they're typically looking/testing for steroids. Unless they have a tip or real reason to. If they were, they'd need test strips or testing kits for all the different compounds + tests for narcotics. I doubt they'd take the time to go through all those tests all for a few pills.

In my last job I did a lot of international travel. Over the last 5 years I'd say I traveled to Asia about 25 times. In Hong Kong they hand check every bag before every flight at the door. I've carried oral on several times to/from the US. I just put the oral in a prescription bottle or vitamin bottle. The customs guys are just looking for something that stands out. Prescription bottle of supplement bottle don't stand out. As for injectables, I put them in a insulin kit (I'm not diabetic) and I've just never had any problems. However, US customs has absolute discretion at the border. They can put you in jail if they think you're wearing the wrong color tie. Be safe.

I doubt they were testing for steroids, they were most likely testing it to make sure it wasn't explosive or something you can make a bomb out of.

Where'd you get the insulin kit? How much are they and how much do they hold? I MAY end up visiting family through the middle of a tren/mast/test cycle I have planned out next year and I will need to figure out a way to get my gear from Overseas to the USA without any issue's.....

I am also going to probably buy some orals in Thailand next year on my trips...I'll have to see what's available etc. but I'll be sure to report back if/how I got them out.

Please be mindful of the rules. I realize you are not asking about gear prices but I'm sure admin doesn't want a lot of publicity on how to smuggle illegal substances between countries.

Sorry about that...sometimes I guess I feel like the anonymity of the internet makes just about anything acceptable to talk about...stupid I know.
